    Licensing

    Your copy of TurboNest came with a removable HASP hardware key ( ). Thissecurity key contains your license information and must be plugged in for TurboNest towork.

    Important: Be sure to keep your HASP key in a safe place. If lost or stolen, areplacement fee will be required.

    Local license

    If you have a local TurboNest license (TurboNest will be used on only one PC at atime):

    After installing TurboNest, simply plug the HASP key into your computers USBport. TurboNest can now be run on your PC, as long as the HASP key remains pluggedin.

    Network license

    If you have purchased a network license, you will need to designate a computer as thenetwork license server. The network license server will use your HASP key to managethe allocation of licenses for all TurboNest clients.Note that the network license server is not required to have TurboNest installed on it.

    Sett ing up the network l icense server

    If the network license server will have TurboNest installed on it, simply installTurboNest and then plug your HASP key into the USB port of that PC. Your networklicense will be ready for use.If the network license server will not have TurboNest installed on it, you should installand run the stand-alone License Manager utility on that PC.To install License Manager:

    1 Close all programs.2 Insert the CD labeled TurboNest into the CD-ROM drive of the network license

    server.3 Browse to D:\Utilities (substitute the appropriate letter of your CD-ROM drive for

    D).4 Double-clickLicenseMgrSetup.exe .5 Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.Once installation is complete, plug your HASP key into the USB port of the networklicense server. Your network license will be ready for use.

    Machine setup filesOnce TurboNest has been installed, you should confirm that the proper machine setupfiles (.tnca) are also installed on your computer. This will ensure that TurboNest cancreate correct NC code for your specific cutting machine.If you did not receive a TNCA machine setup, please contact your regional Hyperthermoffice to obtain one that matches your machine's hardware configuration.

    Starting a new jobWhen TurboNest is started, a new job is automatically created for you. For the purposesof this guide, we will discard this job and create a new one.To create a new job:

    1 On the File menu, select New .The New Job dialog will appear.

    2 Type My first job in the Description box.3 Select Demo Plasma Machine from the Use this machine combo box.4 Select MS 0.125 in. from the Material drop-down list. This material will be

    assigned to all of the nests in your job.5 ClickOK .

    Note: When you click OK to create a new job, the Edit Part List window will

    automatically appear. Adding parts to your part list will usually be the first stepafter creating a new job. For now, close this window.

    To close the Edit Part List window: In the upper-right corner of the window, click Return to Nesting .

    Closing the Edit Part List window will cause TurboNest to return to the main window.Notice that the Part List toolbar is still empty. The status bar at the bottom of thescreen will indicate the name of the current machine. The machine displayed herecontains all the settings that are used for the current job. The machine displayed in thestatus bar will match with the machine you selected in the New Job dialog.At this point, we are ready to add parts to our part list.

    Adding parts to your part listThis section of the guide will show you how to add parts to the part list. Editing of the

    jobs part list is done in the Edit Part List window. To open the Edit Part List window:

    On the Job menu, click Edit Part List .The Edit Part List window will open.

    Like the main window, the Edit Part List window has menus and toolbars along the topand a status bar along the bottom. The rest of the window is split into four sections:

    The upper-left contains TurboNest part sources. Each part source appears as adifferent tab. The CAD and VSP tabs are standard part sources. A Pipe tab will alsoappear here, if you have purchased this module. This guide will focus only on usingthe CAD source.

    The lower-left contains the jobs part list. All parts that have been added will appearhere.

    The upper-right contains a tool window called Preview. The currently selected part isdisplayed here. If the selected part is from one of the part sources, then this

    preview is showing a pre-processed view of the selected part file. If the selectedpart is in the part list, then the preview displays the part exactly as it would nest ona plate.

    The lower-right contains a tool window called Properties. Properties for the currentlyselected part are displayed here. When the selected part is from one of the partsources, the part properties reflect the values that will be used to add the part.Changing these values will affect any subsequent parts that are added to the partlist. If the selected part is from the part list, however, the properties reflect theactual properties of the part. Changing these values directly affects the selectedpart.

    Note: 2D CAD Program

    TurboNest 2012 includes a 2D CAD editor that provides all of the basic featuresneeded to create or edit a detailed CAD drawing.You can open 2D CAD at any time while using TurboNest by clicking the

    button in the toolbar of the Edit Part List window.

    Sample CAD files

    During installation of TurboNest, sample CAD (.dxf) files were placed in one of thefollowing locations, based on the version of Microsoft Windows that is installed on yourPC.

    Windows Vista and Windows 7 :C:\ProgramData\Hypertherm CAM\TurboNest 2012\Examples

    Windows XP :C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\ Hypertherm CAM\TurboNest 2012\Examples

    This guide will use these files to help showcase the features of TurboNest. Feel free touse these files as you learn TurboNest.

    To select a CAD part:

    1 Select the CAD tab in the Part Sources section.

    The CAD tab works like Windows Explorer, allowing you to browse the folders andfiles on your system. Use the Look in box to help navigate. By default, the Files oftype box will be set to AutoCAD files (*.dwg;*.dxf) . The selection in this box willfilter the contents of the current folder, only showing the files that match.

    2 In the CAD tab, make sure that the Examples folder is currently selected.3 Find and click MF2.DXF once to select it.

    When selected, the name of the part will appear highlighted. The Preview tool windowwill display the selected CAD file and the Properties tool window will display theproperties that will be used to add the part.

    Important: The CAD files installed into the Examples folder were drawn using specificlayer names. Each layer name defines a different attribute such asprofiles for cutting, scribing, punching, or dimension information. Usingthe properties for a selected CAD part, you can match each CAD layerwith a machine process. Using layers in this way allows TurboNest todistinguish between the different aspects of a drawing when the part isadded. When adding parts, assigning layers to the proper machineprocesses is critical to creating correct output.

    To modify CAD Layer information prior to adding a part:

    1 With MF2.DXF selected, click on the CAD Import tab in the Properties toolwindow.In the CAD Layers section, the following process-layer mappings will already exist:Process CAD LayerCut - [Plasma] 0;CUTScribe - [Scribe-P] SCRIBE

    Also notice that the preview color used for each process is displayed to the left ofthe process name.

    2 Click on the word SCRIBE in the right column and then click the down-arrow.

    This will display a list of the CAD layers found in the selected part and in themachine settings for Scribe-P. In the illustration above, the layers found forMF2.DXF are0 , CUT , PUNCH , and SCRIBE . Notice that each of these layer nameshas a small image of a part next to it ( ), indicating that the layer was found inthe part. Other layer names may appear simply because they have been assigned tothe process as a default layer mapping. Default layer mappings are defined in yourmachine settings. In the illustration above, the SCRIBE , 2 , and Mark layers havebeen specified in the default layer mapping setting for Scribe-P. These layer nameshave a small settings image next to them ( ). When MF2.DXF is first selected,SCRIBE is the only layer mapped to the Scribe-P process because it is the onlylayer name that is found both in the part and in the machine settings for Scribe-P.

    3 Clear the SCRIBE check box (but do not click OK or Cancel ).Notice that as you clear the SCRIBE check box, the blue scribe lines in the previewdisappear. This means that if you were to click OK and then add the part, theinformation on the parts SCRIBE layer would not be imported into TurboNest. Bynot mapping a layer name to a process, you are instructing TurboNest to ignore thecontents of that layer. Also notice that you cannot select 2 or Mark because neitherlayer was found in the part.

    4 Select the SCRIBE check box and click OK .Prior to adding a part to the part list, it is common to edit the property values in theNesting and CAD Import tabs. Typically, you will need to change the quantity for thepart (although this can be changed after the part is added).To add MF2.DXF to the part list (be sure that MF2.DXF is selected):

    1 In the Properties tool window, select the Nesting tab.2 Change the value for Required to 5 .3 In the Standard toolbar at the top of the window, click Add Part .

    MF2.DXF will be added to the Part List in the lower-left.To add BLADE.DXF to the part list:

    1 In the CAD tab, select BLADE.DXF .2 In the Properties tool window, select the Nesting tab.3 Change the value for Required to 12 .4 On the Edit menu, click Add Part .BLADE.DXF will be added to the Part List in the lower-left.

    Tip: There are several ways to add parts from the CAD source.In addition to using the menu and toolbars, you can:

    Double-click a part Drag a part from the CAD source down into the Part List.

    Similar to Windows Explorer, you can select multiple part files and add them. Toselect a range of parts, select the first part and then hold SHIFT as you select thelast part in the range. You can also hold CTRL as you individually select multipleparts in the list.

    Modifying the nestOnce you have added parts to the nest, you are free to modify the nest in any way. Youcan delete parts from the nest, add more parts, rotate and move parts around, andperform more advanced functions such as clustering. This section of the guide willshowcase several ways of working with parts on a nest.

    Selecting parts

    Nested parts cannot be moved or rotated until they are selected.To select a single part:

    Click anywhere inside the part.To select all parts on the nest:

    On the Edit menu, click Select All .To select multiple parts:

    Hold SHIFT as you select each part.To area-select multiple parts:

    Right-click and drag a rectangular area to surround the parts that should beselected. As you drag, the selection area will be drawn as a box with dotted lines.

    Tip: The direction of an area-select drag changes how parts are selected. If theselection area is created by dragging to the right, then parts will be selected onlyif they are fully contained by the selection area. If the selection area is created bydragging to the left, then parts will be selected if they are fully contained byselection area or if they come in contact with the border of the selection area.

    When a part (or group of parts) is selected, it will turn blue and will be surrounded by aselection box.

    The selection box surrounds the entire selection and features bump and rotate handles.These handles provide specialized ways to move and rotate the selection. See thesection called Moving and rotating selected parts for more information about usingthe selection box handles.

    Unselecting parts

    When parts are selected, they are not truly nested. It is more correct to think ofselected parts as a floating group of parts. To nest a selection, unselect it.To unselect all parts:

    Click anywhere in the nesting area that is not inside any part.OR

    On the Edit menu, click Unselect All .

    Creating clusters of partsTwo or more parts can be grouped together into a cluster. A cluster maintains theorientation of its parts with respect to each other while allowing you to work with thecluster as if it were a single part. This is typically used when parts are arranged in away that is generally useful. Clustering a group of parts makes the cluster available inthe part list as a Custom Part. The custom part can then be used as if it were aregular part.To create a cluster:

    1 Select two adjacent parts on the nest.2 On the Part menu, click Cluster .

    If this is your first cluster, then the Part List tool window should now contain a partcalled Custom Part 1 . The thumbnail image for this part will show that the part ismade from the two parts currently selected on the nest.

    Note: Notice that the two selected (and clustered) parts on the nest act as if they are asingle part. If you unselect them and then click on either part they both becomeselected. If you drag one of the parts, they both move together. Clustered parts

    will act like a single part until they are unclustered . To uncluster parts:

    1 Select parts on the nest that are clustered.2 On the Part menu, click Uncluster .

    The parts are now independent from each other. One part can be selected withoutthe other becoming selected. This does not, however, remove the cluster from thepart list (the part called Custom Part 1 ).

    Moving and rotating selected partsOnce parts are selected, they can be moved and rotated into any position.To move a selected part:

    Drag a part from one location on the nest to another.Using the bump handles

    Parts can be moved in a variety of ways using the bump handles. Bump handles ( )are located on the sides of the selection box. As you point to each bump handle, thepointer will change to an arrow indicating the bump direction.

    Normal bump: Click a bump handle. This moves a part until it comes in contactwith either another part or the plate edge and will leave the part a normalseparation distance from other parts or from the plate edge.

    Nudge: While holding SHIFT, click a bump handle. The part will move a smalldistance in the specified direction. The distance is defined on the Nesting page ofyour settings.

    Zero separation bump : While holding CTRL, click a bump handle. This workssimilarly to normal bump except that it will leave the part in contact with the other

    part or with the plate edge (with no separation). This is useful if you intend to cutcommon lines.

    Tip: You can also use the arrow keys to bump parts. Pressing the UP ARROW key, forexample, acts just like clicking the top bump handle. Like the bump handles, thearrow keys can be combined with SHIFT and CTRL to perform nudges and zeroseparation bumps.

    Using the rotate handles

    Rotate handles ( ) are located in the corners of the selection box. As you point toeach of these handles, the pointer will change to indicate a specific rotate function.

    Free rotate (upper-right): Drag this handle to rotate the part freely. Incremental rotate (upper-left): Click this handle to rotate the part counter-

    clockwise by a fixed amount (defined on the Nesting page of your settings). Rotate to next 90 (lower-left): Click this handle to rotate the part counter-

    clockwise to the next 90 rotation. 90 rotations are all based on the parts neutralorientation (not its current rotation).

    Rotate long side (lower-right): Click this handle to rotate the part counter-clockwise to the next 90 rotation for the parts longest side. A right -triangle partwould rotate to positions that place its hypotenuse at 90, 180, 270, and 360orientations.

    Creating a new nestWith TurboNest you can manage exactly which nests are used. If you dont like aparticular nest, you can delete it. If you need another nest, you can create one andbegin nesting on it.To create a new nest:

    1 On the Nest menu, click New Nest .The New Nest Setup dialog will appear.

    At this point, a custom rectangular plate will already be selected. To specify thedimension of your new plate, you can either type values in the Length and Widthboxes or you can select a standard plate size from the box directly above Length.

    2 Type 150 in the Length box.3 Type 50 in the Width box.

    Notice that the preview updates as you change the plate dimensions.

    4 ClickOK .TurboNest will create the new nest and make it current. You should now see yournew (and empty) nest in the main window.

    Deleting a nestDeleting a nest will place all of its parts back in the part list, adjusting their quantitiesappropriately.To delete the current nest:

    On the Nest menu, select Delete Nest .To delete all nests in the job:

    On the Nest menu, select Delete All Nests .

    Note: TurboNest always has a current nest even if you delete all nests or if you deletethe only nest in the job. If you delete the last remaining nest in the job (referredto as Nest 1 of 1), the end result will be similar to selecting all the parts on thisnest and then deleting them. Similarly, if you delete all nests, the end result willbe similar to deleting every nest past the first nest and then clearing the firstnest.

    Cut simulationBefore generating output, it is often convenient to see how a nest will be cut. Cutsimulation presents an animation that approximates how a nest would be cut by yourmachine. TurboNest allows simple control over the simulation, similar to playing amovie.To view cut simulation for the current nest:

    On the Nest menu, select Cut Simulation .When you enter cut simulation, the parts on the nest will be drawn in the Uncutcolor from the Color Legend tool window. Also, the Cut Simulation toolbar willappear.

    To play the simulation:

    On the Cut Simulation toolbar, click the Play button.When cut simulation starts, a small image of a cutting head will appear at theinitialization point of the nest. The cutting head will then move around the nest,cutting, scribing, and punching the nest in the same order as CNC output wouldinstruct the machine.

    To pause the simulation:

    On the Cut Simulation toolbar, click the Pause button.To stop the simulation:

    On the Cut Simulation toolbar, click the Stop button.To quit cut simulation and return to normal nesting:

    On the Cut Simulation toolbar, click Close .

    Tips: The speed of the cut simulation can be controlled by moving the Speed slider.

    Move the slider to the left for a slower simulation. Move the slider to the right fora faster simulation.

    You can skip ahead (or back) by clicking on any profile in the nest.

    Saving and opening jobsOften you will want to save your work so you can return to it at a later time. The exactstate of your job (including your settings) can be saved in a job file. TurboNest jobshave an .nif file extension.To save a job:

    1 On the File menu, click Save As .The Save As dialog will appear.

    2 Browse to the appropriate folder for your job.3 In the File name box, type the name for your job file.4 ClickSave .

    The current job will be saved with the name you specified.To open a job:

    1 On the File menu, click Open .The Open dialog will appear. Use this dialog to browse to the folder containing the

    job you want to open.2 Select the job file you want to open.3 ClickOpen .

    Tip: On the right-hand side of the Open dialog is a box containing job information.Displayed in this box are the jobs description (if any), the machine settings thatwere saved in it, date created, date modified, and the version of TurboNest lastused to save the job.When a job is opened, TurboNest will first load a fresh copy of settings from themachine shown in the job information box. Then, as it opens the job, it may ormay not restore the settings that were saved in it.

    Below the job information box is a check box called Restore settings from job .Select this check box to restore the settings that were saved in the job. This tellsTurboNest to completely restore settings to what they were when the job wassaved. Clear this check box to open the job and use the machine settings as theyare. This is typically done when you have edited your machine settings and wantto re-output a job using those new settings.
